Indian Lake Outing

Had a nice day and a good group of people painting for our first outing of the year.  There were still more grays than spring greens but that's not so bad since we always get a large share of greens later on.  Here's my painting. Thanks Jan N. for your advice on this.  I touched it up at home trying to better work out a cool / warm contrast.

Sorry to have missed our first painting outing today but hope to get there next month.  I was able to sit out on my patio this afternoon and paint this little watercolor.  A beautiful spring day for the first outing and I hear that 4 painters made it out to Indian Lake.

Plein Air Painting by Nan Zimdars

It's Spring!

Finally some warm and sunny weather and here's my first (decent) plein air painting of the spring. This took two trips to the Token Creek Conservancy park. A crane did fly by while I was painting so I included a bird.  It looks more like the rare "V" bird rather than a crane but I'm just starting to include birds and so need to work on this.    

I'll be sending a group email probably later today to schedule our first outing.
